As most of you know, after starting running as a hobby with George back in May this year, I had soon decided to hang up the running shoes as it wasn't for me. Completely forgot back in May I had applied for a Oxford half charity space in aid of Oxfordshire Mind. This morning I've received an email inviting me to join the Oxfordshire Mind team! Mixed emotions about getting the running shoes back on properly, however feeling motivated for the challenge ahead! With 66 days to go, i’d better start training!! 

Thank you to everyone that has donated, and also to the people that have sent such lovely supportive messages! 

I had used the talking space service for a few years, and the CBT I had received has really changed my way of life. This is my chance to give back x
